SANTA ANA, Calif. — Investigators determined the fatal police shooting of a homeless Navy veteran outside a Southern California convenience store last year was justified, the Orange County District Attorney's office said Wednesday.

Video shows 27-year-old Dillan Tabares confronting the officer and punching him, then reaching for his duty belt as the two struggled before seven shots were fired, the office said.

Tabares was pronounced dead shortly after the September morning shooting outside a Huntington Beach convenience store.
